Peak & Plain League
- Used primarily to give inexperienced swimmers an introduction to competition.
The League is divided into two divisions, again each team hosting a gala against
other members of the division, with a celebration gala of all teams being hosted
at Macclesfield.
- These galas are held in the Spring/Summer. It is a competition which has time
restrictions, i.e. swimmers cannot take part if they have already swum faster than
the allotted time for that event/age group. As swimmers go through the time
barrier it gives the opportunity to use other inexperienced swimmers for that event.
- At present there are eight clubs involved in this League - four in each of the two
divisions with a system of promotion and relegation between the two.
- At the end of the series of galas there is a celebration gala for all eight teams
held at Macclesfield Leisure Centre.

I've been told swimming is a wimp sport but I don't see it:
we don't get time outs,
in the middle of a race we can't stop and catch our breath,
we can't roll on our stomachs and lie there
or we can't ask for a substitution! |
